Step off the deck to miles of beach walking, clamming and some of the best Dungeness crabbing in the region. A mere 8 miles away is the city of Anacortes, the gateway to the San Juan Islands via the Washington State Ferry system and boasts many quaint shops and highly rated restaurants. The historic town of La Connor is another must-see, with great restaurants, charming shops and exciting events, such as the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.

Wonderful property and location, it was difficult to leave! Stayed for a long weekend and the house was perfect for us, exactly as listed. There were four of us (sisters Mom) and it was a perfect balance of comfortable common spaces, beautiful views, and privacy when needed. The house was very clean, well stocked, and we were impressed at how comfortable the beds are. Communication was great and Chris was very understanding when it took us longer to get the crew out during check out. 100% would stay here again.
Here is why this place deserves a five star review:-everything was as advertised-the view was great-the space was uncluttered with their personal belongings-the kitchen had everything that we needed to cook meals-the hot tub was clean-the directions to the house were clear-the instructions inside the house were minimal and appropriate-communication was easy and quick-checkout was very simpleOur family enjoyed all our time at this house and around the area. We hope to come again to this house in the future!
This place is wonderful! Five Stars! House was immaculate and incredibly well appointed. The host communications were extremely prompt, reliable, friendly and helpful. This is a true gem of the Skagit!
We had a great stay at the beach house. Excellent location on a beautiful beach. Huge and well stocked kitchen. Plenty of room for our family. We will definitely book again
The home has stunning views. I hosted my family that all live in the area, the kitchen and home is perfectly equipped to have large family dinners. This home is very welcoming and would highly recommended this property.
Great space for family vacay. beautiful water views and outside deck with fire table for nice evenings. Great kitchen with plenty of equipment and serve ware. We had 4 generations and eveyone loved it.
Lovely property with lots of space and an impossible-to-beat location. We had one minor issue with a leak from the refrigerator and Chris was very responsive and came up to fix the problem right away. Highly recommended!
We stayed with our 2 dogs and just loved it. The location is very unusual, right on the bay with all the local marine life on your doorstep. The beach is walkable for miles at low tide affording plenty of close encounters with herons, eagles, oyster eaters, otters and the local shellfish (clams, muscles, oysters...).
This was a family get together for 5 adults and this property was perfect. The view alone was worth it, not to mention the hummingbird show all day- you will be obsessed with hummingbirds by the time you leave, I promise you. My brother put out crab pots from his kayak and dug mussels and clams and it was absolute heaven. Well stocked and organized kitchen for cooks, and plenty to do nearby, but you really won't want to leave the house. We'll be back!
This was our second time at this property. We love the pool, hot tub (especially I appreciate how clean the hot tub is) and location. This trip we explored Deception Pass State Park. The kids enjoyed exploring the beach in front of the house. Great getaway!
We had a wonderful time staying here! The owner was communicative and worked hard to make our stay all that we hoped for. The location is perfect: quiet beachfront, but also close to both Anacortes and Deception Pass. The kitchen is great and well-stocked with everything you could need. The lap pool is great fun for both the kids and adults. This was our second stay and we will definitely be back!
This is an exceptional property. Close to Seattle and Vancouver, this beachfront home is a perfect place to stay. Comfortable and with a great kitchen and lovely deck. Everyday, the low tide sets up a scenario where you can walk on the beach forever. Anacortes is close by, with really good grocery and other shopping.
Perfect weather, amazing views, wildlife daily, quiet, enough room for seven adults and one baby. The tv only came on once, to watch a movie later in the evening. House close to downtown Anacortes and La Connor. Love both cities and what they have to offer. Whale watching was a success, Orcas. Hard to say goodbye to my family and beach house. Thanks for bringing us together.
Ideal location to access hiking trails, Deception Pass and Anacortes.
The beach house easily accommodates 10.
The owner was always available by text.
The view from the beach house is stunning.
We picked this home for the view and the heated lap pool; but the thing I appreciated the most was how helpful and communicative the owner, Chris was. We've stayed at places that were run by a property management firm, and had a fine time, but the extra attention Chris put into making sure we were well cared for really made a difference.
It was time for our family to rest and reboot. This was the perfect place for all our family to come together. Home was just as I remembered with a few updates. The views are beautiful and the area quiet. Our kids where able to be themselves and us adults where able to relax. Definitely will be returning again. Thank you!
My parents live at the top of the hill in this area and with wanting a place for my dogs and I to enjoy the beach this was the perfect location. The home is so comfortable, the views are stunning. The beds were very comfortable and the house is extremely equipped. I put on a dinner for all my family in the area and it was so wonderful to fell like you were in a home and not worried if you would be able to entertain. I would love to come back to this home it was a little slice of heaven.
